A Donald Trump detractor briefly took control of the official McDonald's Twitter account earlier today to call the billionaire a "disgusting excuse for a president".

At 9:16 AM the @McDonaldsCorp Twitter feed, which has 153,000 followers, tweeted: "@realDonaldTrump You are actually a disgusting excuse of a President and we would love to have @BarackObama back, also you have tiny hands."

Was the breach a full-blown hack or is McDonald's simply covering for the last act of an enraged social media exec? We may never know.

Rather surprisingly, Trump hasn't visibly responded to the tweet. It's not like the US president to hold back on Twitter, or avoid drawing attention to himself at any given opportunity. It's probably safe to assume that he didn't see the tweet, perhaps because he was too busy taking part in presidential activities like watching Fox & Friends or playing golf.

Hopefully the authorities will find the person responsible for the offending tweet, take them into custody, and give them some kind of commendation.
